Sam,
What on earth does 'careless racialization of language' sound like anyway?


Samuel Durrant:

    What on "typology" earth does this empty 'careless racialization of
language'  mean?

    Working class English? I guess I meant generally, not just Not East or
West Yorkshire.

    Please don't chicken out: Do tell us what 'careless racialization of
language' -- is this something they say in Leeds?

Best,

Julian Samuel, author, Passage to Lahore (De Lahore à Montréal)
